It is necessary to ask Peter questions, it is possible, but objects.psg cannot be exported due to a certain node. By the way, trees are exported, but there are problems there.

Man, i managed to export objects.pssg with 3DSimed, but i don't know a way to export it without loosing all the nodes.

You can remove braking, smoke, cars. On the changed racing line. Spain can be edited. Hi.

How i can remove the braking and the smoke, bro? i want to edit the Spain Layout

I didn't come up with anything. I was expecting someone who can make grip mods to advise, but nothing yet. Which files to edit? Hello.

Hello. Interesting, how can you do this? Because PSSG Editor says:

Yes, this happens. 3dsimed delete all the nodes of the track so i can't import it again

 

[AlonsoBeast]

Yes, this happens. 3dsimed delete all the nodes of the track so i can't import it again

It's happened, because 3dsimed pick other track files too, for example tracksplit.pssg, trees.pssg and etc. If you place objects.pssg in empty folder, you can only see objects without texture in the middle.
Like that

Coordinates and collisions for objects in other files (collision for .cqtc files)

Hello motomaniacs anyone may know if it is possible to change the length of qualifying to 5 minutes per session and the race to 35 percent? I have searched on this thread for this issue but have not found it. Thank you very much for any help.

if you change chassis it disables multiplayer

 

[Tuna1234]

if you change chassis it disables multiplayer

So for example if i use F1 23 Mercedes Skin, I cant play multiplayer then, right?

correct!
in order to play multiplayer, you can only change liveries on the same original chassis and you must not change the original database

But I have original F1 2014 game and I can't start multiplayer, game freeze when I choose team for multiplayer season. Game database is original, chassis are original but multiplayer can't be played...why ?

More than 3 main textures can include in the car. First, export "nodes.xml" from car.pssg file. Open with notepad++, try copying "body" (or similar) in "shaderinstance", but replacing "body" name with anything like "body2". Add this information to render_materials.xml by linking the "body2" material to _main2.tga for example.

This way you can include 3 or more textures in one car. For example, this way you can steal and import cars from F1 games and Assetta Corsa with minimal changes. I think it's better to add a lot of small textures than 3 large ones - this will save video memory.

But with decals it's more difficult. I'm either clumsy, or shaders like body do not support textures with alpha channel. In theory, you can try to change the values in shaderpack.pssg, but I did not succeed. I solved it in the following way: find a texture with an alpha channel in the game (for example, from a track) - then find out which shader this texture is attached to, (I found out that tod_diffmask.fx supports this), then I give everything the same as at the beginning of this text, only instead of f1_car_paint.fx write "tod_diffmask.fx", and the decals work (but sucks). I think it can be done so that everything works well.

I also hope there is a solution so that the decal with the alpha channel can work on the f1 2014 cars, it is very difficult when converting a car with a decal that has an alpha channel

I tried to use the same shader that the trees in the game use (tod_diffmask). But unfortunately I got this result (black pixels). In theory, you can find another shader, or edit this one.

How about (bake_diffalpha.fx)?

how to add shader from track to pssg car?
